Is this a good tip from yahoo on taking a divot?

Question

Seems like practicing this would more than likely skull the ball wouldn't it?

Answer 1

always try and hit down on the ball (making sure to hit the ball first ofcourse)

doing this at practise facilities at your course for a session will have you hitting nice crisp divots in no time :)

Answer 2

I read those Yahoo tips almost daily, and they are for the most part really really bad.  First you can't adequately explain a golf theory in two or three sentences, they are poorly written, and not edited for accuracy at all.  I have offered to eidt them for Yahoo, but guess what?  They could care less if the info is accurate or any good - just want to sell banner ads.

Answer 3

Seldom, does a good golfer go to Yahoo or any other web site for tips to improve the golf game. Having started playing golf as a caddie, and listening to the pro as he gave a lesson to the member, the adage then and now is " Ball -turf" . Position the ball in your stance, so that you hit through the ball first and then turf which leads to taking a divot.Also consider the fact that it isn't necessary to take a divot in executing an excellent golf shot, at least for the amateur.
